Can the barcode label be tied to the patient name, date of birth, and date of service? Would like to scan the barcode since it’s tied to the patient and print it to wristband bracelet. Can this be done in OpenEMR?

Right now, there’s no way that that the patients first, last name, and address be tied to the barcode lebel for patient ID. I know the ID is already there, but if somehow I can add that first, last name and address to the barcode and print to that information to a wristband bracelet would be great.
For the file to work, does it have to be placed in certain location on the docker before it will work? The location we have it on is at “/var/www/localhost/htdocs/openemr/interface/patient_file # ls -la barcode_label.php” -r-------- 1 apache root 3838 Jul 29 21:04 barcode_label.php. Or is there a different location on the docker that it needs to be placed on?
This is not going to work for what is needed. It was meant for a native mobile app and deals with OCR etc.
It’d be worthwhile to have bracelet option in core and if it doesn’t take me a lot of dev time, will do.
Problem is to code more info than just MRN then may require to fix to a specific barcoding type like maybe code 39 etc…
I need to know what type of readers are generally used or if the bracelet is generally just viewed for name and dob. I assume there’re also print stock to print on so that printing size is also needed.
If we’re going to add a barcode reader/qr-code reader it would be good to make sure it’s compatible with the barcode system used for vaccines and implantable devices.
Okay. I have both 1D and 2D barcode routines i’ve done for laboratory specimens that I may be able to adapt. But currently we can’t support 2D unless I implement a new library to codebase which I’d like to avoid. 1D should suffice for a bracelet and as for vaccines well, manufacture already use barcodes on label. Up to users to decide to buy readers.
@seddinger I assume barcode should be encoded with name, mrn and dob that also prints same on label.
How do go about implementing this on GitHub? We’ve placed the file the Stephen pointed me to., it’s placed on the docker. Once the file is in place what is the the next step orsteps to get this work?
This is where the file is :/var/www/localhost/htdocs/openemr/interface/patient_file # ls -la barcode_label.php
-r-------- 1 apache root 3838 Jul 29 21:04 barcode_label.php
Is there some modifications that we have to do to the file before it will work?
Right now I’m scanning the barcode label that comes up in OpenEMR, then you should be able to scan the barcode with the scanner and pull up the patients info?
I go to “Patients”, click on what patient I want to make the bracelet for then “Popups”, and barcode label. Scan with barcode scanner, then pulls the patient info. Is that correct?
I just want to look just like the one you just sent me, we haven’t done any modifications yet.
I’m unsure what you’re asking but at any rate here is the modified file you can copy to
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/openemr/interface/patient_file/barcode_label.php
Nobody is answering my questions so i’m letting this go.
Here is modified script: barcode_label.php (3.9 KB)
